Camel spiders.

They run 10 mph, jump three feet, are a nocturnal spider, so only come out at night unless they are in shade. When they bite you, you are injected with Novocain so you go numb instantly. You don't even know you are bitten when you are sleeping, so you wake up with part of your leg or arm missing because it has been gnawing on it all night long.

If you are walking around and you bump something that is casting a shadow over it, and the sun makes contact with it, you better run. It will instantly run for your shadow, and scream the whole time it is chasing you.

These are spiders found daily in Iraq by our troops. Imagine waking up and seeing one of these b*****ds in your tent!

My Dad isn't phased by them and has had them practically that close to him too (although he wouldn't pick them up, that would be stupid :D ).

Yeah, but....look how close they are!

What are they, like betting on the winner or something. I know they're tough soldiers but look at those things, man.

They're not as big a threat as people like to make out. My Dad works in Saudi Arabia and sees these all the time. He's worked over there since '91 now and has never been bitten by any spiders over there.

There is also the Wolf Spider which is just as creepy. Not as quick as the Camel, but would certainly give arachnophobes (like me :D ) the chills...
